PREFACE. 


HIS  brochure  owes  its  existence  to  Mr.  Power's 
Handy  Book  about  Books^  a  large  portion  of  which 
was  reproduced  in  the  American  Bibliopolist,  An 
examination  of  so  much  as  Mr.  Power  had  done 
on  the  subject  of  bibliography,  led  me  to  the  con- 
clusion that  he  had  not  made  a  personal  examination  of  the  books 
described,  and  that  the  eminent  individuals,  whom  he  thanks  as 
having  rendered  him  valuable  assistance,  must  have  had  rather 
limited  bibliographical  resources ;  indeed,  the  general  result  was 
so  disappointing  that  I  determined  to  endeavor  an  improvement, 
and  the  result  is  the  present  list  which  is  about  four  times  the 
extent  of  Mr.  Power's,  and  includes  all  the  titles  quoted  by  him, 
some  of  which  we  should  have  preferred  to  omit.  Still  it  is  not 
a  complete  bibliography,  for  the  most  excellent  reason  that  such 
a  work  is  beyond  any  one  man's  capacity ;  but  it  is  hoped  it  will 
prove  useful  to  those  librarians  and  general  readers  who  desire 
information  concerning  books  about  books. 

Those  who  seek  further  information  on  the  subject  may  con- 
sult with  much  advantage  Petzholdt's  Bibliotheca  Bibliographica^ 
which  is  conspicuous  for  the  faithful  and  painstaking  care  exhib- 
ited in  its  compilation,  and  in  which  the  titles  are  treated  with 
that  minute  attention  to  classification  which  is  preeminently  the 
characteristic  of  the  German  mind,  while  our  list  is  conspicuous 
for  the  absence  of  any  attempt  at  such  a  classification. 


viii  PREFACE. 


I  cannot  close  this  brief  notice  without  tendering  my  thanks 
to  Mr.  Charles  A.  Cutter  of  the  Boston  Athenaeum  for  his  valu- 
able aid.  When  librarians  in  general  can  approach  his  standard 
of  library  intelligence,  there  will  cease  to  be  that  plentiful  lack 
of  knowledge  by  which  some  of  them  are  r;ow  distinguished.

No  more  published.  **  The  conclusion,  showing  the  present  state  of  the  Protestant 
religion  in  Maryland,"  etc.,  occupies  pp.  12  5-1  30.  The  author  states  that  the  object 
of  this  bibliographical  treatise  was  to  give  those  who  went  to  Virginia,  Maryland,  and 
the  American  plantations,  an  idea  of  the  books  they  should  take. 

Bridgman  (R.  W.)  a  Short  View  of  Legal  Bibliography, 
containing  some  Critical  Observations  on  the  Authority  of  the

Classifying  a  Public  or  Private  Library.  By  Richard  Waley 
Bridgman.     8vo,  pp.  xviii,  430.  London.   1807. 

Though  this  work  is  of  an  early  date  it  will  be  found  of  interest  to  the  law  student. 
It  has  the  advantage  of  two  good  indexes,  one  of  authors,  and  the  other  a  classified 
list  of  subjects.

This  work  must  ever  be  highly  valued  as  affording  the  only  complete  index  to  the 
rich  repertory  of  Arabian  Manuscripts  in  the  Escurial,  and  for  the  ample  evidence 
which  it  exhibits  of  the  science  and  mental  culture  of  the  Spanish  Arabs.  Gibbon 
remarks:  "The  execution  of  this  work  does  honour  to  the  Spanish  press.  The 
MSS.,  to  the  number  of  185 1,  are  judiciously  classified  by  the  Editor,  and  his  copious 
extracts  throw  some  light  on  the  Mahommedan  literature  and  history  of  Spain."

Of  the  New  York  edition  some  copies  are  on  large  paper,  and  five  copies  were 
printed  on  India  paper.  In  the  New  York  reprint  all  the  "Addenda  and  Corri- 
genda" which  are  prefixed  to  the  first  volume  of  that  edition  are  placed  in  their 
proper  positions.  The  *'  Index,"  also,  is  greatly  enlarged.  This  valuable  and  inter- 
esting work  is,  in  fact,  an  extended  edition  of  the  author's  catalogue  of  the  Duke  of 
Bridgewater's  library.  It  describes  books  which,  for  the  most  part,  are  so  scarce, 
that  but  few  American  libraries  possess  them ;  and  Mr.  Collier  has  performed  an 
acceptable  office  in  quoting  largely  from  the  works  he  has  described.

which  they  were  sold,  extracted  from  the  sale  catalogues.  It  will  be  always  con- 
sulted as  an  authority." — Lowndes. 

"  The  Bibliomania  is  evidently  formed  in  the  first  instance  on  the  plan  of  honest 
Isaac  Walton's  Complete  Angler  ;  with  conspicuous  marks  of  the  author's  being  deeply 
versed  in  the  Battle  of  the  Books,  and  a  familiar  acquaintance  with  old  English  litera- 
ture, and  occasionally  with  the  discussions  of  Yorick.  Under  the  shape  of  dramatic 
dialogue,  the  reader  is  equally  entertained  and  instructed ;  the  abstruser  parts,  with 
the  historic  details,  being  thrown  into  the  form  of  notes.  It  would  now  be  useless 
to  pass  an  encomium  on  this  work,  as  its  merits  are  so  fully  established  as  to  have 
more  than  doubled  the  original  price  of  a  volume  now  with  difficulty  to  be  obtained."

**  You  have  contrived  to  strew  flowers  over  a  path  which,  in  other  hands,  would 
have  proved  a  very  dull  one ;  and  all  Bibliomanes  must  remember  you  long,  as  he 
who  first  united  their  antiquarian  details  with  good-humored  raillery  and  cheerful- 
ness."— Sir  Walter  Scott  to  Dr.  Dibdin.

had  no  predecessor.  "Of  the  industry  bestowed  upon  this  extensive  compilation,

This  extraordinary  collection  of  old  English  poetry  formed  part  of  the  extensive 
library  of  Thomas  Hill  (the  "Hull"  of  Theodore  Hook  in  his  Gilbert  Gurney)^  when 
he  failed  in  business  as  a  sugar  baker.  This  portion  of  the  library,  its  great  value 
not  being  known  to  the  creditors,  was  presented  to  him.  He  afterwards  sold  it  to 
Messrs.  Longman  &  Co.,  who  employed  Griffiths  to  make  out  this  catalogue  raisonni. 
The  initials  at  the  beginning  of  each  letter  have  very  neat  woodcuts  of  the  poets 
from  rare  prints.  It  is  now  very  scarce.  Thirty  copies,  with  a  colored  frontispiece,

This  valuable  collection  was  purchased  after  the  death  of  Edward  Harley,  second 
Earl  of  Oxford,  by  T.  Osborne,  the  well  known  bookseller,  for  £30,000.  The 
catalogue  made  by  T.  Oldys,  with  a  preface  by  Dr.  S.  Johnson,  was  issued  in  parts ; 
the  first  two  volumes  in  1743,  and  two  more  in  1744.  The  last  volume  is  not, 
properly,  a  part  of  the  work,  though  issued  under  the  same  name.  The  books  were 
not  sold  by  auction,  and  the  prices  were  not  affixed,  as  is  usual  with  booksellers.

Four  hundred  copies  printed  in  imperial  8vo,  one  hundred  and  nine  in  410,  ten  of 
which  are  on  Holland  paper.  It  was  undertaken  at  the  suggestion  of  Mr.  S.  L,  M. 
Barlow,  of  New  York,  and  contains  the  titles  of  over  three  hundred  books.  As  a 
specimen  of  American  typography,  it  has  probably  never  been  surpassed.  In  regard 
to  its  merits  it  has  received  at  the  hands  of  some  members  of  the  Geographical 
Society  of  Paris  very  high  praise,  of  which  an  English  version  (in  part)  will  be 
found  in  Stevens'  Bibliotheca  Historica,  followed  by  some  rather  severe  criticism 
on  the  work  by  Mr.  Stevens,  who,  writing  in  the  third  person,  quotes  largely  from 
an  article  in  the  Athenaum  of  the  6th  of  October,  1866,  of  which  Mr.  Stevens 
is  the  author.  The  writer  of  this  notice  does  not  presume  to  enter  into  a  controversy 
with,  or  a  criticism  upon,  the  works  of  either  of  these  bibliographers,  but  he  cannot 
help  regretting  that  a  work  so  elaborate,  learned,  and  useful  to  the  American  bibliog- 
rapher, as  this  Bibliotheca  Americana  is,  should  have  been  the  vehicle  of  any  exhi- 
bition of  personal  pique.  We  have  been  assured  on  very  good  authority  that  the 
blunder  of  "Ander  SchifFahrt's "  was  really  due  to  the  proof-reader,  and  that  the 
Index,  in  which  Schifl&hrt  (Ander)  is  made  to  appear  once  more  in  propria  persona^

was  not  the  work  of  Mr.  Harrisse  at  all.  Let  It  suffice  for  us  to  remark  that  for  the 
student  of  the  earliest  of  books  relating  to  America,  this  book  is  indispensably  neces- 
sary. We  may  add  that  Mr.  Harrisse  has,  in  some  instances,  quoted  works  from 
White  Kennett's  Bihliotheca  Americana  Primordia^  and  made  the  remark  that  he  has 
found  nothing  in  the  works  so  quoted  relating  to  America.  This  has  arisen  from 
the  fact  that  he  has  misapprehended  the  nature  of  that  work,  which  purposely 
introduces  many  books  which  had  no  relation  to  America.  The  following  is  a 
continuation :

Two  hundred  copies  printed  in  8vo,  and  fifty  copies  in  4to.  In  the  matter  of 
printing  and  paper  this  volume  exceeds  in  beauty  that  of  its  predecessor.  Its  contents 
cover  the  same  ground ;  some  titles  contained  in  the  former  work  are  further  elabo- 
rated, and  many  are  entirely  new.  It  will,  perhaps,  not  be  saying  too  much  that 
many  of  them  are  only  remotely  related  to  America,  but  the  author's  careful 
researches  and  elaborate  dissertations  have  combined  to  render  the  volume  a  very 
desirable  addition  to  an  American  bibliographical  collection.

Twenty-five  copies  printed  in  imperial  8vo  on  large  vellum  paper.  The  original 
letters  in  this  volume  form  a  very  interesting  portion  of  its  contents.  Those  of 
Ciofanus  are  filled  with  abuse  of  Aldus  Junior,  whom  he  terms  la  Cornacchia  Eiopea^ 
and  of  whose  literary  ability  he  speaks  very  slightingly.  It  also  includes  a  reprint  of 
CapelPs  Shakesperiana.

in  whose  hand  the  memorandum  of  the  number  of  copies  printed  is  given  on  the 
fly-leaf.  It  appears  from  this  that  only  twenty  were  printed,  and  probably  in  a 
private  manner  for  presentation.  The  spelling  and  printing  are  equally  ancient 
in  style,  and  the  whole  discourse,  ending  with  the  poem,  runs  upon  black  letter 
and  other  antique  lore.

Literature."  There  is  scarcely  an  edition  of  the  Bible  extant  in  Hebrew,  Greek, 
Latin,  or  Polyglots,  but  it  is  accurately  described,  and  all  textual,  as  well  as  typo- 
graphical variations,  pointed  outj  it  is  perhaps  the  most  perfect  Manual  of  Biblical 
Bibliography  extant.     The  first  edition  was  Parisiis.  1 709.    2  vols.,  8vo.

This  is  perhaps  the  most  laborious  and  most  able  bibliographical  work  which  hab 
ever  appeared.  It  is  scarcely  possible  to  find  a  volume  or  a  manuscript  in  any  way 
connected  with  French  history  which  is  not  fully  described,  and  it  frequently  gives 
curious  details  respecting  English  historians.  Brunet  remarks  "Get  ouvrage  et  un

trouver  dans  tous  les  Bibliotheques."

Lowndes.  [Same  Title.]  New  Edition,  Revised,  Corrected 
and  Enlarged,  By  Henry  G.  Bohn.     6  vols.,  8vo,  pp.  2746. 

London:  Henry  G,  Bohn.    1857-69. 

Issued  in  eleven  parts,  each  of  which  contains  some  preliminary,  explanatory,  or 
exculpatory  notice  by  Mr.  Bohn.  It  is  much  to  be  regretted  that  the  earlier  part 
of  the  work  does  not  include  the  same  ratio  of  additions  as  the  later,  and  book- 
collectors,  in  general,  would  have  been  pleased  to  pay  a  higher  price  for  a  handsomer 
book.  Mr.  Bohn's  name  as  editor  did  not  appear  on  the  first  title  to  Vol.  i.  Power 
remarks  "  A  good  guide  to  Mr.  Bohn's  various  reprints  and  *  Libraries,'  and  the 
appendix  is  a  carefully-compiled  list  of  the  publications  of  the  Book-printing  Clubs, 
the  private  presses,  such  as  Strawberry  Hill,  Lee  Priory,  &c.,  and  the  rare  reprints  of 
Collier,  Halliwell,  Maidment,  Turnbull,  and  others.  The  Bibliographer^ t  Manual  is 
a  work  which,  for  want  of  a  better,  no  English  book-lover  can  do  without.  The  first 
edition  has  the  advantage  of  Mr.  Bohn's,  being  printed  in  more  legible  type."  Later 
issues  bear  the  name  of  Bell  &  Daldy  as  publishers.  In  1869,  two  hundred  and  fifty 
copies  were  printed  on  large  paper,  in  6  vols.,  cr.  8vo.  The  statement  that  one 
hundred  copies  were  printed  on  large  paper,  which  appears  on  that  number  of  copies 
which  were  sent  to  America,  is,  to  say  the  least,  an  abbreviation  of  the  truth.  Mr. 
Bohn's  eleven  prefatory  notices,  which  to  some  extent  explain  the  nature  and  extent 
of  his  labors,  have  been  omitted  in  the  large  paper  copies,  both  editions  being  in 
other  respects  exactly  the  same.  There  is  no  substitute  for  The  Bibliographer'' s  Man- 
ual;  undertaken  originally  to  supply  an  obvious  desideratum  felt  by  all  readers  and 
book-buyers,  it  forms  at  once  a  key  to  the  riches  of  English  literature  for  the  student, 
and  a  guide  in  the  formation  of  a  library  for  the  collector.  In  its  present  enlarged 
form  it  comprises  notices  of  upwards  of  one  hundred  thousand  distinct  books  pub- 
lished in  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  but  it  is  susceptible  of  much  improvement.

48  parts  or  8  vols.,  8vo,  all  yet  published.  One  hundred  copies  printed  on  large

to  be  a  bookseller,  seeing  a  bookseller  has  made  such  a  book."  "  When  this  valuable 
work  will  be  completed  it  is  impossible  to  calculate  ;  up  to  Part  xiv.  it  only  reaches  as 
far  as  *Casas.'" — Power.     It  will  probably  be  completed  in  1880.

literature."  One  of  the  most  important  works  ever  produced  upon  the  history  of 
early  printing,  on  which  it  throws  great  additional  light.  It  contains  an  extended 
examination  of  the  various  editions  of  the  block  books  (or  books  printed  from  wooden 
blocks),  the  earliest  productions  of  the  art,  issued  in  Holland,  Flanders,  and  Germany, 
such  as  the  Apocalypsis  S.  Johannis,  Biblia  Pauperum,  Ars  Moriendi,  Cantica  Can- 
ticorum,  Liber  Regum,  Temptationes  Daemonum,  Ars  Memorandi,  Endkrist,  Quin- 
decim  Signa,  De  Generatione  Christi,  Miribilia  Romas,  etc.  It  is  not,  however, 
confined  to  a  history  of  block  books,  for  it  gives  minute  accounts,  accompanied  by 
exact  facsimiles,  of  some  of  the  most  interesting  and  rare  works  printed  with  movable 
type  in  the  infancy  of  the  art,  such  as  the  Donatuses,  Doctrinale,  Catonis  Disticha,

the  author  happened  to  possess  at  that  time.  It  was  intended  to  supply  the  deficiencies

"  The  pleasure  we  have  experienced  in  perusing  these  sheets,  has  been  considerably 
heightened  by  our  confidence  in  the  accuracy  of  the  contents  (Major  Stewart  giving 
notes  and  references  from  the  most  authentic  materials),  and  from  the  modest,  unas- 
suming manner  in  which  the  whole  is  written.  The  work  Major  Stewart  proposed 
to  write  was  one  of  great  curiosity  to  all  classes  of  readers,  and  a  desideratum  of  real 
consequence  to  Oriental  scholars." — British  Critic.

This  catalogue,  now  rare,  contains  much  more  than  that  byTriphook.  See  Notes

replete  with  valuable  bibliographical  and  critical  notices.  It  is  no  exaggeration  to 
say  that  in  the  departments  of  literature  to  which  Mr.  Stewart  has  given  special 
attention  he  is  the  best  living  authority.

In  this  edition  some  of  the  matter  in  the  first  is  omitted.  The  list  of  ante- 
revolutionary  publications  is  far  from  being  complete,  and  it  is  much  to  be  regretted 
that  many  of  the  titles  are  not  given  correctly;  one  specimen  is  conspicuous:  on 
page  405,  article  Bass,  an  error  in  the  Massachusetts  Catalogue  is  pointed  out,  but  the 
title  is  turned  round.  There  is  nothing  in  the  title  about  Benjamin  Colman,  and  the 
collation  is  pp.  (2),  iii,  40;  the  printer's  name  is  not  given.  Errors  like  these  swarm 
in  the  list,  a  circumstance  to  be  regretted,  as  a  little  additional  labor  would  have  made 
that  right  which  is  now  wrong.  It  is  the  more  inexcusable,  as  a  reference  to 
Sabin's  Dictionary  would  have  furnished  many  titles  entirely  omitted  or  incorrectly 
described.
